Intrusion Detection Evaluation Datasets

[snort user <snort.user () gmail com>]

Greetings to everyone.

I have some questions regarding Intrusion detection evaluation datasets -

Apart from the Darpa datasets and KDD datasets, are there other
publicly available
datasets?
Are these datasets useful for evaluating a new IDS system or even a
new detection
technique?

For evaluating a new technique or methodology using a dataset, especially when
presenting the results to a conference, the validity of the dataset is critical.
How does one solve this problem, if not for the limited number of
standard datasets available?

Thanks for you input !
